"Las Vegas Hereos" (Video)

[AnthonyM83]

Okay, I know this is borderline whackerish, but it's one of only two EMS videos ever I've actually enjoyed watching. Obviously, it's showing the exciting portions of the job, but it's hard not to have a boring video otherwise. It's the only one I've seen that shows defibrillations. And it doesn't have a high adrenaline soundtrack, either.

I'm still waiting for the perfect video, though: scenes from station, scenes of doing paperwork, grieving families, tight fits, heavy patients, bodily fluids, ...guess it'd be hard to edit it all and still pleasant to watch....

Neat video. Wonder if they got releases from all the patients to release the footage?

pretty good video actually.

I really like the one put out the Ontario Paramedic Association.

This is what I'm used to. Only County FD video I could find...the only thing off about it is that a FF is helping maneuver the gurney...that's RARE unless it's a full-arrest. Their c-spine technique and standing around practices seem about right, though.

Aww, they've disabled comments so I can't post on youtube about the ingeniousness seen at 47 seconds of releasing manual stabilization in order to move the patient's hair out of the way.

The first patient with the scalp laceration in the second video.... I don't want to arm-chair medic here but why are they transporting L&S?

Also, the second patient in that video they were saying they would have had police force the guy to go to the hospital had he refused..... on what grounds. He was perfectly competent :shock:

In fact, watching a bunch of these videos related to that second (VCU stuff) they seem to give off a slightly full of themselves tone. I don't know, maybe it is just me.

The pt in labour call in this video is an example of how NOT to handle the situation.
